Ingredients

• 2 medium Eggplant
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 cup Marinara sauce
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 4 large Sub rolls
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

Slice the eggplants into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Lay the slices on the baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 3

Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Roast the eggplant slices in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and tender.

Step 5

While the eggplant is roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Slice the sub rolls lengthwise and place them on a separate baking sheet. Arrange the roasted eggplant slices inside each roll.

Step 7

Spoon the marinara sauce evenly over the eggplant in each sub. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 8

Return the subs to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the subs from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately, and enjoy your Super Eggplant Subs!
